Product description [We combine a store price of 680,000 yen for the body with a full set of accessories and offer it at a special price]
◆"Specialty-shop quality" — a top-of-the-line spec built with a craftsman's full attention to detail
Our Superior Tsugaru Koki shamisen set keeps the price down while never compromising on the wood used or the precision of the build — all genuinely top-grade — so you can enjoy a one-rank-up sense of luxury and playability.
※This Tsugaru shamisen comes as a set (pairing) with a Komochi ayasugi body.
・Generously using top-of-the-line, luxurious "Indian Koki wood" Uses extremely hard, premium Indian Koki wood. Beyond the beautiful grain and deep luster of the body, it produces a sturdiness that won't budge even under the pounding, intense playing style of Tsugaru music, and a thick, powerful, ultimate sound.
・[Supreme resonance] "Komochi ayasugi body" that dramatically amplifies the volume On the inside of the body, a veteran craftsman carefully carves an intricate wavy groove pattern for each individual instrument — the premium "Komochi ayasugi body" specification. This lets the sound scatter and reflect ideally inside the body, producing "deep, undulating overtones (lingering resonance)." It's a top-of-the-line resonance that commands attention even on a concert stage.
・"Precision Japanese craftsmanship" with zero tolerance for error The single most important element determining a shamisen's tone and playability is crafted with precision, down to a single "rin" (a tiny fraction), by our veteran craftsmen. Because of this, intermediate/advanced players — and beginners as well — can easily find and hold hand positions, allowing for smooth improvement.
・Standard-equipped "Azuma sawari" that dramatically improves the tone Standard equipped with "Azuma sawari," which lets you easily fine-tune, with a single knob, the pleasant "biiin" resonance (sawari sound) essential to Tsugaru shamisen. It lets anyone easily enjoy an authentic, professional-level lingering resonance.
・Pure 100% luxury: "genuine ebony itomaki" The itomaki use genuine ebony, an extremely hard and sturdy premium wood. It's very resistant to loosening, and features an outstanding, crisp "click" as it locks into place. There's no stress from itomaki slipping while you play.
・Convenient to carry, the "3-piece neck" This is a precision traditional structure (a three-fold neck) that lets the neck break down into three parts. While preserving top-of-the-line playability, you can pack it compactly for travel by plane, or easily carry it to lessons, the stage, or a concert.
・"Premium Karin maru-uchi body" achieving outstanding tonal improvement Rather than simply making the body thicker, our craftsmen use a proprietary technique that makes the curve slightly deeper than the standard measurement. This dramatically improves sound projection, achieving overwhelming resonance improvement from low to high frequencies.
◆Because it's a Tsugaru shamisen you'll keep for life, Wagakki Ichiba's "4 assurances"
Whether you're picking up a shamisen for the first time, or looking for a genuine, long-lasting instrument, buying an expensive traditional instrument online may naturally feel uncertain. So that you can be truly satisfied, we promise the solid quality and support that only a specialty shop can provide.
・Instrument condition: "complete final adjustment right before shipping" by veteran craftsmen We never ship instruments made ahead of time and left sitting in stock. Once your order comes in, our veteran craftsmen carry out the skin-stretching and other work, and right before shipping, perfectly adjust and inspect each individual instrument — a final check of the tone, how well the itomaki hold, and more. From the moment it arrives, you can enjoy playing it in its very best condition.
・Tone and quality: the resonance of "premium Indian Koki wood" and "carefully selected first-grade skin" We generously use premium, genuine Indian Koki wood, regarded as the pinnacle of shamisen materials. Because it is extremely dense and heavy, it draws out the "deep bass" and "supreme, rich lingering resonance" unique to Tsugaru shamisen to their fullest. Combined with the finest "first-grade skin" our craftsmen carefully select, it guarantees an overwhelming resonance.
・After-sales guarantee: an "outstanding 3-month free warranty" and lifetime support only a specialty shop can offer Because this is a delicate traditional instrument, we place the highest priority on your peace of mind after purchase. So that we can handle any unexpected trouble, we include a "3-month free skin-tear warranty." This reflects our confidence in our skill and materials. Beyond that, after your purchase you'll enjoy a special, lifelong 5% discount on skin re-stretching that never expires.
・Accessories: a "complete full set" so you can start the very day it arrives All the basic accessories you need to play are included from the start. So even beginners can get started without hesitation, we've carefully put together a high-quality, complete accessory set, so there's no need to buy anything extra afterward — very economical and reassuring.
Note) Set prices are configured based on the accessories included, so please check the accessory details below for specifics.
This is an ideal class for those currently practicing on a Karin shamisen who are considering upgrading to Koki, and for anyone starting shamisen in earnest who wants a good-toned instrument right from the beginning.
(The difference in tone compared with a Karin shamisen is unmistakable.)
At Wagakki Ichiba, we purchase skins in large volume, carefully select only the finest from among them, and our craftsmen — who have honed their skills over many years — stretch each one by hand with great care. A shamisen simply won't produce sound no matter how fine it is if the skin isn't stretched tightly enough. But when the skin is stretched properly, the instrument sings remarkably well. We use some of the finest specialized techniques in Japan to further polish the shamisen's tone.
We're proud to offer you a shamisen crafted by the hands of a craftsman who has honed his skill over many years.
※You can change to synthetic skin (Shiramine) for an additional 18,000 yen.
◆ Benefits ◆
1) 3-month warranty
※If the skin tears within 3 months of your purchase date, we will re-stretch it free of charge.
※Not covered by warranty (if the skin peels away from the body, or is torn intentionally).
2) Unlimited 5% OFF on skin re-stretching
※For shamisen purchased from us only, skin re-stretching is a further 5% off our web price.
3) Free humidity-control board
※Ideal for protecting the shamisen's skin.
